Armadillo Property Management offers a wide variety of rental properties- everything from studio
apartments to five bedroom houses, and anything in-between. Our properties are located
throughout Fort Collins, so we can help you find an apartment close to the Colorado State
University campus, an Old Town home or apartment, something more suburban, or a home
convenient to the major technology employers on Harmony Road.
Spring and Summer Leasing
We'll have plenty of properties from which to choose this Spring and Summer, but we won't
know which ones will be available until May at the earliest. Our current residents will have the
first option to renew the leases where they are currently living. We'll be contacting them in early
May to find out their plans for the coming year. As soon as they give us notice that they'll be
moving, we list that property as being available on our web site. Properties will become available
from mid-May through the end of July, and those who are checking our web site frequently will
have the best advantage over those who are relying on the newspaper for information on
available properties. The following is a basic outline of how our leasing and application process
works, with answers to the most common questions we receive. A more detailed explanation of
our criteria is attached to each application.
The Fort Collins rental housing market can be very competitive, with more people looking for
housing than we have housing available, especially in the Spring and Summer. Following these
steps will simplify your search, and increase the probability that you'll get the place you want.
- Check our list of available properties.
- Drive by the ones that interest you the most.
- Call to schedule an appointment to tour the property.
- Properties are leased on a "1st come, 1st served" basis.
- No property will be leased sight unseen.
- Complete and return the application, given out at the showing.
- Application fee is $30 per adult, non-refundable, to be paid with application.
- Security deposit is equal to one month's rent.
- One half the security deposit is due with the completed application.
- The balance of the security deposit is due prior to move-in.
- You cannot withdraw an application without forfeiting the deposit down payment.
- If you're looking from out of town or out of state you'll need a local contact you trust, who can
make appointments to see the properties that interest you.
Approval Criteria

minimum qualification standards.
